GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 My father and I had seasons tickets from the 1986 season through the 1998 season. That last season I was in DC my freshman year of college, and the communte for more than a game or two a season was too expensive. I spent four years in DC, then the past four in Boston for grad school, always making the commute for opening day and another three games a season (I'd say I averaged four home games those years). I recently moved back, but had to pass on purchasing any tickets as I was unsure of where I'd be working. Fortunately, I recently started a great job in downtown Buffalo, and am happy to report that as of today (and thanks to a kind soul on CraigsList who's wife wants him to spend more time with this three and two year old daughters), my father and I will be returning to Rich Sta... er... The Ralph as seasons ticket holders. For this season, and hopefully many to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Maybe you're a Good Luck Charm! The team was almost always in the playoffs back when you were going to those games in the late 80 and thru the 90s. They've sucked since you left after 1998... Many people think that this year feels like 1986 in that they will finish with a bad record but with tons of hope for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Congratulations. Apparently your absence was what was missing, because we have not been very good since you gave up your season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWesternBill Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Season tickets would be ridiculous... living in salem Oregon that sounds almost intangible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
